Earlene has a soft spirit and a patient nature, showing affection to those who approach her with care. While she sometimes keeps to herself and may appear reserved, it’s just her way of feeling safe. Earlene's favorite environment is quiet and gentle, which suits her age; she's over ten years old and living with some arthritis in her back knee. For her comfort, a calm home is best, ideally one without young children, where her space and slower pace are respected. Despite her cautious demeanor, Earlene gets along with dogs and doesn't seem bothered by other animals, though her interactions with other cats remain limited. She’s fully litter box trained and has demonstrated unwavering sweetness, even during vet visits and treatments. Earlene requires extra access to fresh water because she has kidney disease, common in senior cats. This means she drinks frequently and uses the litter box a bit more. A bit of a survivor, Earlene has overcome many challenges with steady grace. She’s hoping for a family who values her resilience and will offer the caring home she’s earned.
